Roots ‘n Blues ‘n Barbecue

The Roots, Blues, and Barbecue festival, organized by Boone County National Bank in observance of its 150th year of business, drew 54 barbecuing teams from around the Midwest to compete for money and prestige. Each team was required to submit an entry for each of six barbecue categories, which were then scrutinized by a gallery of judges. This film examines the two-day competition through the eyes of three competitors.
